Getting to know the different parts of a BMX frame is the first big step before buying your bike. For general sizing purposes, the top tube length is a good way to figure out what’ll be best for you.

If you are doing big gaps, do your research and do not buy a lower level product. Compare your current set of tricks with the ones on the chart to figure out what skill level of bike or product you need.
